Amari Cooper Undervalued Heading Into Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is undervalued by most fantasy football players heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Before Dak Prescott was out for the season, Cooper was the overall WR13 even with CeeDee Lamb playing at a high level alongside him. In what should be a greatly improved […]

CeeDee Lamb Could Be The Best Cowboys Receiver In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could have a big start to the season in a Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucs. With Dak Prescott back to lead the offense, the Cowboys passing game is expected to see huge improvements from last season. Lamb played most of his snaps in 2020 from the […]

Tony Pollard Not A Safe Option For Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is not a great choice for any Week 1 fantasy lineups. Ezekiel Elliott will start and is expected to get most of the work in the Dallas backfield, leaving Pollard around for change-of-pace duties and perhaps occasional third downs. With the Cowboys opening the season against the Tampa Bay […]

Ezekiel Elliott Still A Strong Option Despite A Tough Week 1 Opponent

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has a difficult matchup to open up the season, but should still be a solid fantasy option for Week 1 lineups. "Zeke" and the Cowboys face off against the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs, who had the second best defense against opposing running backs last season. Many fantasy […]

Dak Prescott A Great Choice Despite A Tough Week 1 Matchup

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) is an excellent fantasy option in Week 1 despite a tough Thursday matchup against the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott was dynamic for the short time he was on the field last season, and with Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield along with tons of receiving options running […]

Jazz Chisholm Has A Double And A Triple On Friday

Miami Marlins rookie infielder Jazz Chisholm got halfway to the cycle on Friday, hitting a double and a triple in a 10-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Jazz ended up 2-for-3, adding a walk to his line as well. He scored two runs while lifting his batting average up to .260 and his OPS to […]

Miguel Rojas Has Three Hits In Friday's Win

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas had a three-hit game in Friday's 10-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Rojas went 3-for-3 with three singles, also adding a walk.

Jesus Luzardo Just One Out Shy Of A Quality Start

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo pitched pretty well again on Friday, falling just one out away from a quality start. "The Jesus Lizard" pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three. He lowered his ERA to an even 7.00 and has looked significantly better […]

Brian Anderson Back To The Injured List

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (shoulder) is on his way back to the injured list, and may not play again this season. Anderson previously spent time on the injured list with a left shoulder subluxation, and that's what this new injury is being described as also. If Anderson's season is indeed over, he'll finish […]

Tyree Jackson Makes The Initial Roster

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Tyree Jackson (back) officially made it to the Eagles 53-man roster. He fractured a bone in his back during a preseason game about two weeks ago, so he'll almost certainly end up on IR before the Eagles play their first game, but the fact that he was officially on the roster […]

Dak Prescott Will Be A "Full Go" For Thursday's Game

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle, shoulder) will be a "full go" for Thursday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Prescott missed most of last season due to a severe ankle injury and then had some trouble throwing this summer due to shoulder issues. Rest and rehab seem to have him, "back where the […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 23 Waiver Wire

The playoffs are coming! The playoffs are coming! Well, not the real playoffs, yet. We still have some time before those. But fantasy playoffs are starting up in some leagues next week while others are already in their first playoff week, so every single little statistic starts to matter more and more. Head to head […]

Trevor Rogers To Start Friday's Game

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers (personal) will be activated from the restricted list to make a start in Friday's game. Rogers was dealing with personal issues and has not made a start since July 31st. He'll return to a 7-6 record and a 2.45 ERA and will try to make a strong finish […]

Will Grier Claimed By The Cowboys

Quarterback Will Grier was claimed off waivers by the Cowboys. Grier, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, immediately enters the picture as the primary backup for starter Dak Prescott in Dallas. After somewhat surprisingly releasing presumed second string quarterback Garrett Gilbert earlier in the week, the Cowboys were left with just Cooper Rush in the quarterback […]

Miguel Rojas Leads Off With A Home Run

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas led off Thursday's game with a solo home run. Rojas took the first pitch of the game and deposited it into the left field seats, giving the Marlins a quick 1-0 lead that wouldn't last too long. Rojas ended up going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and the RBI from […]

Isan Diaz Continues To Be An Easy Out

Miami Marlins infielder Isan Diaz continued his season-long struggles in Thursday's game against the New York Mets. Diaz has played second and third base, both poorly, while hitting .187 with a .573 OPS. Those numbers are despite a recent hot streak. Diaz has seemingly played all season, but he did spend some time in Triple-A, […]

Sandy Alcantara Managed Out Of A Quality Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara suffered from poor managerial decisions from Don Mattingly once again in Thursday's start against the New York Mets. Alcantara had a quality start locked down, but was allowed to go back out for the seventh inning, facing the Mets order for a fourth time. Marlins manager Don Mattingly's utter […]

J.A. Happ Gets Annihilated On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher J.A. Happ was destroyed by the Cincinnati Reds in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader. Happ got just three outs, pitching one inning while allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks. He allowed two home runs and ballooned his already rough ERA all the way up to 6.20. The […]

Elieser Hernandez Throws Five Solid Innings On Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez pitched well on Tuesday in the completion of a suspended game from April. Hernandez got the "start" and pitched the first five innings, allowing just one run on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts. He threw 83 pitches, 56 for strikes. Hernandez is still ramping up after […]

Jordan Howard Released By The Eagles

Running back Jordan Howard was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday. That leaves the Eagles with Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, and rookie Kenny Gainwell as the only running backs on the roster. Howard was thought to be competing for the fourth spot on the depth chart, but it appears the Eagles have decided to […]

Jalen Hurts Officially Confirmed As Starter

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was officially confirmed as the team's starter by coach Nick Sirianni. The new Eagles coach said, "Jalen is our starter. He has done a great job." The Eagles tried to pretend that backup Joe Flacco had a chance to actually jump Hurts on the depth chart this preseason, but no […]

Cowboys Will "Begin Exploring" Cam Newton

The Dallas Cowboys will reportedly "begin exploring" free agent quarterback Cam Newton. Newton was just released by the New England Patriots on Tuesday morning, while the Cowboys released both Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci, leaving them with just Cooper Rush on the depth chart behind starter Dak Prescott. Given that Prescott is recovering from an […]

Cooper Rush Wins The Cowboys Backup Job

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has won the Cowboys backup job. The team released both Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci on Tuesday, leaving Rush as the only quarterback on the roster behind starter Dak Prescott. Prescott is coming off a severe ankle injury and dealt with shoulder issues throughout camp and the preseason, so the […]

Garrett Gilbert Released By The Cowboys

Quarterback Garrett Gilbert was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. Second-year signal caller Ben DiNucci was let go as well. Gilbert looked set to open the season as Dak Prescott's backup, but the Cowboys have apparently decided to go with Cooper Rush in that role instead. Gilbert was decent as a fill-in quarterback last […]

Alex Reyes Skipped Over For Monday's Save Chance

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes was not called upon for Monday's save chance in a 3-1 game against the Cincinnati Reds. This comes on the heels of a blown save for Reyes which was followed by the team saying they would be reevaluating their ninth inning options. It will most likely end up […]

Paul Goldschmidt Homers On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run home run in Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It was the only hit of the day for "Goldy", leaving him 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and two RBI. He has his batting average up to .286 and his OPS up to .833. […]

Giovanny Gallegos Earns The Save On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Giovanny Gallegos earned the save, his third of the season, in Monday's 3-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Alex Reyes had been the Cardinals closer all season, but after a rough stretch, the team said they would be "reevaluating" their ninth inning role, and Gallegos was the one to get […]

Jon Lester Has His Best Start As A Cardinal On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jon Lester had his best start since being traded on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. Lester earned a win and a quality start, pitching 6 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on one hit (a solo home run) and two walks while striking out five. Kyle Farmer hit a solo […]

Jake Eder To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Jake Eder (elbow) will be forced to undergo Tommy John Surgery. His 2021 season is over, as is most if not all of 2022 as well. Eder, picked in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, was off to an outstanding start to his professional career. In 71 1/3 Double-A […]
